The stepmother's face darkened, seemingly displeased with Lin Chen's behavior.
But when she saw Lin Chen's handsome appearance and aristocratic demeanor, her usually stern face immediately filled with a smile.
She stood up and hurried forward to greet him.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Chen said calmly, "I heard you're planning to sell Cinderella? Is that true?"
The stepmother's face lit up with joy. She was short of money right now, and she didn't expect someone to ask about it so soon.
If it had been a few days later, she even planned to send Cinderella outside to greet the guests first.
Otherwise, if they just eat rice every day like this, this family will be ruined by that stupid girl sooner or later.
“Sir, you are mistaken. Cinderella has reached the age to get married. I am planning to marry her off, but after raising her for so many years, I am really reluctant to part with her. That’s why I’m only asking for twenty gold coins.”
The stepmother said repeatedly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh in anger at his wicked stepmother.
What's the difference between these twenty gold coins and the dowry he received in his previous life?
He never expected that even after transmigrating to another world, he would still encounter something like this.
When the stepmother saw Lin Chen smile, she assumed he had agreed and smiled back.
At this time.
Her two daughters came over.
"Mom, you can't let Cinderella marry this man!"
“Cinderella is just a servant, all dirty and filthy. She is not worthy of this gentleman, nor is she worth twenty gold coins.”
Upon hearing this, the stepmother's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and she was about to reprimand her.
A daughter quickly leaned down and whispered in her mother's ear, "Mom, I really like this gentleman. Why don't I marry him? He looks very rich. Those twenty gold coins are just a small amount for him. If I marry him, maybe we can get a share of his estate! Then it will be much more than just twenty gold coins."
The other daughter quickly chimed in, "Yes! If Cinderella marries him, given her ungrateful nature, she'll definitely cut ties with us. Then this gentleman will certainly not associate with us anymore, and might even be bewitched by Cinderella to turn against our family."
As soon as she finished speaking, the stepmother's eyes lit up.
She really hadn't expected this.
Since that's the case, it would be better to marry her daughter to this gentleman.
As for Cinderella, let her go out and entertain guests.
She was very pleased with her idea, but completely ignored whether Lin Chen would even be interested in her two daughters who were extremely ugly.
The stepmother smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Sir, I don't think Cinderella is suitable for you. She's lazy, always dirty and unhygienic, and a terrible person who doesn't know how to be grateful. On the other hand, my two daughters are both beautiful and kind. Why don't you marry them? If you like either of them, you can even marry both of them!"
As she finished speaking, her two daughters struck a pose and winked at Lin Chen, as if they were flirting.
But in Lin Chen's eyes, this scene was utterly disgusting.
Even though he had seen countless bizarre and terrifying monsters in the eerie forest.
But I was still disgusted by those two ugly women.
It took him a long time to recover from that terrifying scene.
He quickly turned his head and glanced at Cinderella's graceful figure.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Followed by.
He felt utterly disgusted with the mother and her two daughters.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time he had ever seen such a top-tier "exquisite" item!
Cinderella's father was truly something else; he must have been starving to marry a woman like that.
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Intelligence on the Person Behind the Scenes
Lin Chen didn't even dare to look at the three women, the mother and daughters, again, for fear that another glance would cause an explosion.
He walked straight to Cinderella, his eyes fixed on her beautiful face.
Even when covered by dust, it couldn't completely conceal her stunningly beautiful face.
"Are you willing to come with me? If you agree, I'll take you away right now."
Cinderella looked up at Lin Chen, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She recognized the man in front of her; she had seen him from afar at the dance last night.
According to the prince, this person seems to be a Taoist priest from the mysterious East.
I never expected them to come looking for me today.
She pursed her red lips and tentatively said, "Last night..."
Lin Chen said calmly, "Last night, those crystal shoes were the most beautiful feet I've ever seen."
The words fell.
Instantly, Cinderella became very wary. This person remembered everything and even recognized her as the dancer who wore glass slippers last night.
The fact that this person could ignore last night's illusion magic shows that their strength should not be underestimated.
She pursed her red lips and nodded slightly, saying, "I do."
"No! I won't allow it!"
Suddenly, a sharp female voice shouted.
Immediately afterwards, one of the stepmother's daughters rushed towards Cinderella, her ugly face filled with madness.
Lin Chen frowned, casually flicked his wrist, not directly touching the woman for fear of dirtying his hands, but simply sending out a gust of wind.
Instantly, the ugly woman fell to the ground.
"Oh dear!" The stepmother screamed upon seeing this.
Lin Chen decided to go all the way and flicked out several stones, knocking the three women unconscious.
He looked at Cinderella and asked, "Should we kill her?"
Cinderella looked conflicted and hesitated to answer.
Upon seeing this, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.
Cinderella is actually quite kind; she's willing to spare the lives of these three vicious women.
However, Lin Chen felt that not killing such idiots was tantamount to endangering the world.
He didn't ask Cinderella any further questions, and casually flicked out three beams of white light.
Instantly, the three ugly and vicious women turned into a pool of blood.
Cinderella's face paled slightly as she watched this scene, and her voluptuous body trembled slightly, as if she were terrified.
Lin Chen simply put his arm around Cinderella's slender waist, and with a few quick movements, they left the dilapidated courtyard.
After a while.
He took Cinderella to his residence.
Cinderella sat on the chair with only half her bottom on it, still looking shaken.
Lin Chen looked at Cinderella's pitiful appearance and couldn't help but admire her.
Then he asked, "Who gave you those crystal shoes?"
Cinderella stammered, "Yes... I found it."
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. This Cinderella was a bit dishonest.
He raised his hand and slapped Shui Miaomu Zhao across the face.
This immediately stirred up a wave.
"ah!"
Cinderella gasped in surprise, her pretty face flushed, and she touched her buttocks, which were a little sore.
"To be honest," Lin Chen said succinctly.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it from Lin Chen, Cinderella had no choice but to say, "I did find those crystal shoes, but they were thrown on the ground by those crows."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly.
crow?
He suddenly remembered that there were indeed many crows in this Praia.
I never expected that the crows would be involved in this matter.
Just as Lin Chen was deep in thought, he suddenly noticed something outside the window out of the corner of his eye.
He immediately got up and looked out the window. He saw several crows standing motionless under the windowsill, their blood-red eyes staring straight at Lin Chen, looking very eerie.
"Gah!"
When the crows saw that Lin Chen had spotted them, they let out a piercing cry, and then suddenly flapped their wings and swooped down toward Lin Che's face.
Lin Chen didn't even blink, and his right hand flashed with white light.
In an instant, all the crows died.
[Ding! Host has killed Dark Blood Raven. Reward: 1% Sunlight Energy Experience]
Even after killing all the crows, Lin Chen still had a slight frown on his face.
He looked up and gazed out the window, where he saw the city of Praia, whether on tree branches, rooftops, or in the sky.
Crows were present in almost all of them.
at this time.
All the crows were staring in Lin Chen's direction, motionless, their blood-red eyes flashing with an eerie light.
However, the crows simply watched quietly and did not take any other action.
Seeing this, Lin Chen slammed the window shut.
It seems.
His existence has been discovered by the person behind the scenes.
The situation, which was originally one of the enemy being in the light and us being in the dark, instantly turned into one of the enemy being in the dark and us being in the light.
Lin Chen had indeed overlooked the fact that the crows were used as surveillance equipment.
but.
These things are useless in the face of absolute power.
Once he gets the specific information about the person behind it all, just rush over and beat them to a pulp.
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Lace-trimmed White Socks, Delicate Little Feet
“A few days ago, I went to pay my respects to my mother. Suddenly, a crow spoke in human language and said that it could give me all kinds of beautiful clothes and sparkling crystal shoes, and could help me get rid of this kind of life.”
"The price is that I must attend a ball and seduce the prince, or he will kill me."
Inside the room, Cinderella briefly recounted the entire story.
After hearing the whole story, Lin Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Was there anything special about that crow?"
Cinderella shook her head: "That crow looks exactly like any other crow, there's no difference."
Lin Chen frowned.
The person behind this seems to be quite something!
They were so cautious that they didn't even reveal their true form, relying solely on the crows to give orders.
and.
Why did the person behind this want Cinderella to seduce the prince? And why did they keep assassinating members of the nobility?
